Liam Coen Declines Jaguars, Stays with Buccaneers

Liam Coen, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offensive coordinator, has withdrawn from consideration for the Jacksonville Jaguars' head coaching position to remain in his current role with Tampa Bay. Coen, 39, was a leading candidate for the Jaguars, who are seeking to replace Doug Pederson. His decision follows a successful season where he led the Buccaneers to a top offensive ranking, significantly enhancing quarterback Baker Mayfield's performance. The Buccaneers have extended Coen's contract, making him one of the highest-paid coordinators in the NFL. The Jaguars will now focus on other candidates, including Robert Saleh and Patrick Graham, for their head coach vacancy. Coen's stock as a future head coach candidate remains high, with expectations that he will be a top contender in future coaching cycles.
